I've had her for like 7-8 years and I've never known her breed and I never see her breeds at aquarium shops.

heres a link of a pic of her: (might have to press refresh)

That's a blood parrot, or sometimes if it is a really brightly colored one they are called jellybean parrots because they have been dyed to produce the fanastical colors (purple, blue, green etc.) Regular blood parrots will be bright red, pale red or orange. Hard to tell which is yours in the pic. Blood parrots will get quite large whereas the jellybeans stay much smaller.

It is rumored that these fish are infertile because they are hybrids, but I don't really know if that is true or not.

HTH!

Yes, that's a blood parrot.

And out of curiosity, do you have a better pic of the fish in the lower left corner? It's kind of odd looking.
